"What has Led Zeppelin I got to do with Houses of the Holy or, you know, what's one thing got to do with another?" Plant say. "You just grow and you absorb. If you want to, you can get lost in music, especially now; the information highways are what they are with YouTube and stuff like that. It's remarkable what you can find."

Plant is over 50 years into his career and he's still completely in love with music and with performing. He says he can't wait to get back on tour, just to see and hear the music happening in new places. He says he and his band absorb it all.

"It's like a cooperative," he says, describing the Sensational Space Shifters. "Nobody gets in the way of anybody. It's a very neat and exciting exchange of energy and ideas. It keeps us really excited about what we do. 'Cause obviously you play some of the same songs forever. It's like a good joke; it's how you tell [it]."
